 Posted: Sun Jul 25, 2010 6:29 pm Post subject: Picture Post News: Unknown Aircraft Over The Atlantic |
 |
|
Dateline 25th July 1946. Breaking news just in from our New York office.
A strange sight over the Atlantic. And it's heading our way !
While battling the elements of the North Atlantic, one of our brave merchant sailors spotted this overhead...
It followed the NY bound convoy for sometime before disapearing into the clouds.
What is this beast ? Aircraft experts spoken to by us could not identify it. Whatever it is, it's massive, with what appears to be 6 engines.
Could it be the long feared New York bomber ? Could the Nazi's really be ready to strike back at the US of A ?
Well this reporter doesn't know, but I'm sure going to be watching the skies from now on !
